[BUG] Doesn't recognise Galaxy Buds2 if they have custom name
The app doesn't recognize the buds even though they are connected and work normal.
You can open the app on the phone, reset them and then they are recognized correctly and work even after renamed so it's not really a big problem.
Both on Windows 10 and Arch Linux App version 4.5.2
For the time being, I've added a workaround, which allows you to select the correct Bluetooth device from an unfiltered list (see the 'manual connection' button on the bottom of the device selection page). You'll also need to choose the correct device model.
You can download a precompiled beta build on these pages:
- Windows: ThePBone/GalaxyBudsClient/actions/runs/2949009351
- Linux: ThePBone/GalaxyBudsClient/actions/runs/2949009328
Samsung also detected the earbuds using their Bluetooth device name until they introduced personalized device names. Now, they store a bunch of metadata in the 'manufacturer' property of the Bluetooth device. However, for some reason, I cannot read this information on Linux at all (always empty). I haven't checked on Windows yet, but for now, I'll stick with the workaround mentioned above until I find a reliable way to retrieve this data.
Kinda unrelated, but is there anyway to change the name from this client?

No, at least not yet. I can look into adding it, but I don't have a device that supports personalized names for testing.
